Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Automated Deduction in Geometry, ADG 2006, held at Pontevedra, Spain, in August/September 2006 as a satellite event of the International Congress of Mathematicians, ICM 2006. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from the submissions made due to a call for papers - within the scope of ADG - shortly after the meeting. The papers show the lively variety of topics and methods and the current applicability of automated deduction in geometry to different branches of mathematics and to other sciences and technologies.
